Has anyone else heard Netflix is picking up Gilmore Girls? They are going to make 4 feature length movies. I'm really excited!

OMG, today is so awesome!!! After two years of trying to sell it, we are finally closing on our first house. It's finally sinking in, and I am so fucking happy. This is such a huge weight lifted off of our shoulders! I think I might have to celebrate with a massage this weekend. LOL.

I had no idea how important it is to have a good realtor. I mean, when I say it now, it totally makes sense, but when we started, we were very naive. And I recommend using Dave Ramsey's ELP (endorsed local provider) system to find one in your area.

Yes on the realtor! The one who sold me mine was terrible. When I went to sell it, I knew I'd get nowhere if I used her. I used someone who came highly recommended and she sold it in 3 days!! That never would have happened with the original realtor. Congrats!

I guess I'm the voice of dissent. I always tell my bosses when I'm applying for other jobs, especially because I'm asking to use them as a reference most of the time. It's a courtesy, but if you aren't looking for other employment currently or aren't looking for a professional reference, I don't see it as inherently side-eye worthy.

This. To be fair, though, most of the time when I'm looking it's because of organizational changes or because the company got sold.

I'm Season 5 Episode 10 of Gilmore Girls. This is my first time watching through and I really good about not looking up things on Wikipedia and the rest of the interwebz. I am being patient and letting things happen the way they were intended.

Lorelai and Rory got me through the second half of my maternity leave. My newborn daughter had a tv in her room solely for me to watch Mad Men and Gilmore Girls while nursing her 23 hours a day.

H very excitedly told me all about this the other day. I love him.

I am 90% certain this will be me in the future. I rewatch the show at least every other year anyway.

I was working remotely from our hotel room for most of today. But then the internet went down. So now I'm sitting in a Starbucks instead.

Hoorah for salted caramel mochas.

Also, I had someone accuse me of limiting their freedom of expression and imply that I'm a hippocrit for suggesting that an email implying someone was a little mentally unstable was neither constructive nor a good idea in professional communications. Uh, OK. Sure.

Really?! My H is the one who told me about it too. He will sit with me and watch a couple episodes in a row. I tease him about him liking the show. He said he though it was stupid when he was a kid. I think he likes it now because he picture DD and I like that one day.

I got him hooked years ago. I bought seasons 1 and 2 on DVD and was watching them one weekend in the living room of our apartment. He rolled his eyes wheb I started and went to play video games, but by the second or third episode he was right there on the couch with me.

He got hooked on Friends the same way.

penguin129, pismoduo, my husband didn't watch Gilmore Girls with me becuase I was watching while he was at work.

However, in addition to watching Walking Dead and Game of Thrones together, we also watch Pretty Little Liars together. And he got hooked in the last 2 seasons of Gossip Girl, too!

I've only ever applied internally since I have been with my company (5.5 years). Obvs the HR manager knows but they usually don't bring your current manager into it until the second interview. My current boss even told my last boss that I was leaving for me.

I do let my boss know when I'm being asked to interview by recruiters but I have never followed through. I feel icky being asked without all the details on the company, etc.

Apparently my coworkers at my last job had bets to how long I would stay, mostly around the 1 year point.
